Superman Doesn't have the "M" Gene?
By Jekylhyde14 32 Comments
I just finished reading DC Comics Presents #18 by Gerry (I killed Gwen Stacy) Conway and Dick Dillin/Frank Chiaramonte and the issue makes a rather interesting argument as to why Superman is vulnerable to magic. In the Bronze Age, of course, DC was interested in playing up the fact that magic could harm Superman in an attempt to respond to the criticisms that the Man of Steel's invulnerability hurt his relatability. Different writers have given different explanations for this vulnerability over the years, but Conway gives a rather unique on in this issue. DC Comics Presents #18 starts with Superman researching his vulnerability to magic. He discovers that magic does exist as an energy beyond ultra-violet in the invisible spectrum of radiation. Meanwhile, in upstate New York, Zatanna is about to perform her own sort of magical experiment. She starts by explaining her theory of magic's origins to her father, Zatara, a nd librarian Madame Van Jung. Zatanna claims that magic is performed by utilizing mystical energies from another dimension, and that the Homo Magus offshoot of humanity had the genetic ability to access these energies at will (for more info on the Homo Magi see Justice League of America #164). Since Zatanna's mother was Homo Magus, the young hero excels at using magic. However, the Homo Magi genes became diluted over years of intermingling with plain, old Homo Sapiens, so, as time went by, people started to need rituals and spells to access the same abilities that Homo Magi used to conjure at will. Zatara finds his daughter's explanation and can't help but add in at the end: "It even explains why Superman is vulnerable to magic! Not having been born on Earth, he has no Homo Magus genes whatsoever!" (Page 8).
I found this to be an interesting way of explaining Superman's issues with magic. It's a different way of approaching the issue and has a logic of its own. Of course this story was from 1980 and we've had a few continuity restarts in the DC Universe since then so it's probably no longer relevant. I thought it worth bringing up since the Trinity War crossover is approaching and is fueled by the magical avenues of DC Comics. It's likely that Superman will be confronted by his vulnerability to magic once again and we could possibly be treated to a new explanation as to why it can hurt him. I wonder what some of you think of Gerry Conway's explanation, if you have or like a different explanation, and what your favorite memory of Superman dealing with magic is. Paul Kupperberg found every opportunity to put the words "I hate magic" in Superman's mouth. If the Trinity War is as mystical as I think it will be, Superman is really going to hate this event.

My stepmom came to visit me … finally
So my stepmom has never come to visit me the whole five years I have been here. So you can imagine how happy I was to finally get her out here.
I can't say I blame her, she comes from a family of Aggies, she's been misinformed. Several of her friends and her came to visit, and we went a football game, barton springs, and abel's on the lake. She was actually pleasantly surprised by how much she really like Austin, and said she wanted to come back! Success! It was a pretty great weekend and I was so glad she came to see me.

Vaxholm is a locality and the seat of Vaxholm Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden. It is located in the Stockholm archipelago. The name Vaxholm comes from Vaxholm Castle, which was constructed in 1549 on an islet with this name on the inlet to Stockholm, for defense purposes, by King Gustav Vasa.
For historical reasons it has always been referred to as a city, despite the small number of inhabitants, which as of 2010 total was 4,857.[1] Vaxholm Municipality prefers to use the designation Vaxholms stad (City of Vaxholm) for its whole territory, including 64 islets in the Stockholm archipelago, a usage which is somehow confusing.
The town of Vaxholm was established in 1558, when King Gustav Vasa bought some farms from Count Per Brahe the Elder. It later received rights as a merchant town (köping) and in 1652 was granted the Royal Charter. The designated coat of arms reminds of the fortifications as well as shipping industry.
During the 19th century, it hardly expanded. In the 1880s, it became a popular spa town, and many wooded summer houses were built by people from Stockholm.
It was not until 1912 that it allowed houses to be built from materials other than wood, giving the town a distinctive appearance.
The following sports clubs are located in Vaxholm :
- IFK Vaxholm
- Vaxholms IBF
- Vaxholms TK
- IK Waxholm
- Waxholms KK

This was our first time shooting a wedding at Clandon Park. We were blown away by the incredible light in the ceremony room which falls on the bride and groom picking them out from the dark room interior. But the exterior of Clandon Park is also wonderful for wedding photography. The cloud formation at sunset […]

Marcus Beers on neogafHe's concerned with the lack of access to PS4.All I care about are launch day live streams and quick looks forever.
@d_mac: Also work in TV. My schedule is 4pm-1am Thr-Mon. I've never had a "normal" 9-5 Mon-Fri in my life. Speaking of disasters, I worked 52 hours within 3 days, sleeping at work, during a hurricane a couple years ago. Television is glamorous...
I really want to watch this because I've been wondering if there has been a speed run of Rogue Legacy, but I also don't want to spoil the final boss. Very much enjoying this game. It'll probably be my pick of the year.
It's kind of a bummer this has to go through Greenlight, but hopefully there is enough fan support to make this happen. I'd gladly get this on Steam. Never played it but they certainly deserve some cash for all the entertainment they provided me.

They are the first site I think of whenever the subject of paid reviews comes up.I think the biggest Polygon controversy has stemmed from the documentary they did on the creation of their site which was funded by Microsoft at a sum of $750,000.

@kkotd said:This was one of the reasons I couldn't quite understand people saying 'DONT PREORDER YOU IDIOTS!!!!1111!!!'You can cancel anytime, if you preordered early enough you're going to get it Day 1 and you get the lowest price if you preorder through Amazon. There's literally no risk... Well other than the console malfunctioning day 1, catching fire to your house and giving you lung cancer... But I mean, come on... They've surely worked out all the bugs in this day and age... Wait, what do you mean my PS3 was bricked by a firmware update!?! -throws shit- :PAbsolutely. Some co-workers were reluctant to pre-order and finally I asked them "you do realize you don't pay for it til it ships, right?" Then they all pre-ordered. As for the gift card thing, paying about $55 a week starting in July through the beginning of November would pay off both my pre-orders. Makes it sound more reasonable. Just a little more reasonable, though...
Seeing some of the responses to this makes me really sad. This is no different than what the PS3 or 360 do now and people are acting like they were betrayed.

Office of Government Ethics81 x 10 Letter to a Member of Congressdated February 26, 1981
This is in response to the question raised by one of your constituents, whether full-time Government employees may engage in the private practice of law during their period of Government employment. You have asked that we address the subject generally rather than the specific cases cited by [the constituent] in his letter.
The standards of conduct for Federal employees in the executive branch of the Government are set forth in Executive Order 11222, a copy of which is enclosed. Section 202 of the Order states that such employees shall not engage in any outside employment which might result in a conflict or an apparent conflict between their private interests and their official duties and responsibilities with the Government. The Order has been implemented by regulations issued by the former Civil Service Commission, now the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). One of OPM's regulations -- 5 C.F.R. § 735.203 provides that an employee shall not engage in any outside employment which is "not compatible with the full and proper discharge of the duties and responsibilities of his Government employment." Under 5 C.F.R. § 735.203, incompatible activities are defined to include:
(1) Acceptance of a fee, compensation, gift, payment of expense, or any other thing of monetary value in circumstances in which acceptance may result in, or create the appearance of, conflicts of interest; or (2) Outside employment which tends to impair his mental or physical capacity to perform his Government duties and responsibilities in an acceptable manner.
Each agency in turn issues its own regulations relative to outside employment by its employees -- regulations which have to be approved by OPM prior to their issuance. Some agencies require that before any employee takes on outside employment, the employee must receive the specific approval of the agency. There are also differences among the agencies in the types of employment they will authorize.
There is no statutory prohibition as such against the practice of law by Federal employees nor is any contained in the Executive Order or OPM's regulations. The Department of Justice, in view of the nature of its functions, does not allow its attorneys to practice law.1 On the other hand, there is no such prohibition at most other agencies. A Federal employee, however, cannot maintain an action against the Federal Government on behalf of a client in view of the proscriptions contained in 18 U.S.C. §§ 203 and 205.
In any event, an employee may not participate in the practice of law during office hours unless he or she takes annual leave for this purpose. It should be kept in mind also that if the private practice of the Federal employee took an inordinate amount of time or interfered with his or her Government responsibilities by reason of the employee's becoming too preoccupied or fatigued as a result of it, the employee might have to discontinue this outside activity.
do hope we have been of assistance.
J. Jackson Walter Director
1. The Department of Justice permits certain exceptions to this rule which are outlined in 28 C.F.R. § 45.735-9.

Against the historical background of the days when the children of Israel were delivered from the bondage of Egypt, the author has sketched a romance of compelling charm. A biblical novel as great as any since Ben Hur.

Candy-Cane Shaped Wreath
Everyone's favorite Christmas confection provides a cheery welcome on the outside of a house.Instructions:
Draw a candy cane shape onto a large piece of paper. Cut it out and trace the shape onto a two-inch-thick piece of Styrofoam. Cut out the Styrofoam using a serrated knife. Wrap a piece of white felt four inches wider than the candy cane around the shape (use straight pins to attach it to the back). Tightly wrap a wire around the top of your candy cane and create a loop for a hanger on the back. Spread out an assortment of peppermint candies and broken candy canes on newspaper in a well-ventilated area, like a garage. Spray the pieces with polyurethane, making sure to coat all sides of the candy well; let dry. Use a glue gun to tightly apply the candy to the front and sides of the wreath, then give the whole thing two more coats of polyurethane. Finish by wiring on sprigs of pine and a bow.(from the website)

I know they didn't mean ill, but look at the image Breitbart chose to frame their headline: "POLL: 53% SAY GOVT THREATENS FREEDOMS."
We told you so...
Well, George, it's apt enough. But the photo aside, as the Clintons would say, what difference does it make?

Comments about Assorted Christmas Cards Set of 100:
Attractive set and the cards are well made. However the description said both blank cards and cards with pre-printed verses. All the cards were blank, and one style talked about a poem on the front which was indicated by "..." to continue on the inside. The card inside was blank and therefore useless to me as I cannot write poems. Other than those two things, if you like blank cards this is a good value.

Sultan Ali bin Salah al-Quaiti 1898-1948: Half a Century of Political Struggle in Hadhramaut
by Dr Muhammad Said al-Qaddal and Abdulaziz Ali bin Salah al-Quaiti
University of Aden Press, 1999. Arabic. Pp. 194. Illus. Notes. Bibliog. Pb.
Sultan Ali bin Salah al-Quaiti was a senior member of the Quaiti dynasty which until 1967 ruled most of the territory known as Hadhramaut formerly part of Britains Eastern Aden Protectorate. He was a great grandson of Umar bin Awadh al-Quaiti, a Yafai tribesman from Southern Arabia, whose wealth and influence as hereditary Jemadar of the Nizam of Hyderabads armed forces enabled him to establish the Quaiti dynasty in the latter half of the 19th century, winning British recognition of his paramount status in the region, in 1882.
Sultan Ali bin Salali headed the branch of the Quaiti ruling family which was settled at al-Qatn, near Shibam, in Wadi Hadhramaut. During the 1 930s, as Governor of Shibam, he administered the hinterland of the Quaiti Sultanate on behalf of his second cousin, Sultan Salib bin Ghalib al-Quaiti, who divided his time between Hyderabad and the coastal capital, Mukalla.
By the late l930s Sultan Ali had lost the favour and confidence of Sultan Saleh (with whom H.M.G. signed an advisory treaty in 1937) and was removed from office. This book discusses the social and historical factors which influenced his outlook and intellectual development, and his role in the local life and politics of Hadhramaut. The last fifty-four pages comprise an appendix of documents intended to illuminate aspects of this role, including his relationship with Sultan Salib bin Ghalib, and with other local, Arab and foreign personalities.
Sultan Ali bin Salah entertained and assisted a number of European visitors to what was then a little known and largely unexplored area of the Aden Protectorate. They included Lieut-Colonel the Hon. M. T. Boscawen (who paid three visits to Hadhramaut between 1929-1933), Daniel Van der Meulen, the Dutch diplomat and traveller (1931 and 1939), Freya Stark (1935 and 1937) and H. St. John Philby, the British Arabist and explorer (1936). In his book Sheba's Daughters (1939) Philby wrote:
Intellectually he [Ali bin Salali] is definitely a scholar more than a king, though his activity as an administrator constantly on the move to one part or another of his territories tends somewhat to correct that impression. He is deeply interested in his duties as a ruler and in the peace and development of the country under his charge. But, when he relaxes and is free to please himself, one can see at once that his personal tastes incline to hooks and thoughts and knowledge. For one who has never been out of his own country, his intellectual outlook and his wide knowledge of the world are surprising. And he enjoys the advantage of being an easy, natural talker with plenty to say. It is obvious that he reads widely, and I found him perhaps the easiest person to converse with generally of all I met in his country.
Van der Meulen and Freya Stark spoke of Sultan Ali with similar warmth; Harold Ingrains, however, was less complimentary, and his doubts about Sultan Alis political judgement seem to have been borne out by the latters covert support for the separatist ambitions of Ubaid Salim Bin Abdat of al-Ghurfa, which in 1945 led to Sultan Alis arraignment in Mukalla and exile to Aden.
Dr Muhammad al-Qaddal is a Sudanese historian whose knowledge of Hadhramaut dates from the mid-1950s when his father Shaikh Said al-Qaddal was appointed State Secretary in Mukalla. His co-author, Abdulaziz bin Ali al-Quaiti, born only a few years before his fathers death in 1948, is a younger son of Sultan Ali. Their book will be of interest to area specialists and would reach a wider readership if it were translated into English. It is a pity that this Arabic edition is marred by the generally poor quality reproduction of the photographs (with the exception of the colour print facing page 38) and of the manuscript documents in the appendix.

Like the superheroes of old, the AMD Phenom II streaks out of the night to lay waste to your enemies with 2.8GHz quad cores that have L1 and L2 caches for each core, and 6MB of L3 cache to be shared to handle really heavy loads or large data sets.
Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode allows up to 16.0GB/s of bandwidth. Up to 17.1GB/s memory bandwidth for DDR2 delivers an amazing total of 37GB/s of processor-to-system bandwidth. This unprecedented bandwidth is needed to feed the data hungry AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture cores.
You'd think that all of this power would be too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 3.0 technology works with CoolCore Technology to minimize heat while keeping power and efficiency up. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use. This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates.

Wrong CPU For MotherboardPros: Good CPU for the price Cons: I never got to actually get the CPU working in the motherboard I had bought from Newegg. First off, ASUS told me it would work in the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3. CPUs are not returnable but Newegg made an exception. I checked the pins on the CPU before returning. Newegg notfied that pins were bent. After getting back the CPU noticed 3 pins were bent that were not prior to returning for credit. Got news is that AMD will replace the CPU but now stuck with a CPU and no compatible motherboard.

Works like a charmPros: Working good so far, idles around 43c with MB temp of 46c. Cons: Does run a lil warm at 43c idle, normal? Most likely, cant deduct eggs for it. Other Thoughts: Recommended processor in conjunction with ASUS M4A785-M Motherboard which still uses DDR2 ram, no need to get DDR3 compatible MB as the performance to price of DDR3 ram aint worth it. Never tried the Over clocking on this yet, like to try to get 3.1 ghz with a 5th core unlocked though. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

SEs helpless against defaulting firms Chandigarh, August 5 Talking to The Tribune, he disclosed that the BSE management and other stock exchanges felt helpless to take action against the defaulting companies. He was in the city yesterday to attend an investors awareness programme. He said the investors interests could not be properly safeguarded by suspending the trading, as in that case, the exchanges would have no check over them. Though some good companies were sensitive about this stringent action, but there were hundreds of companies in the country, which had simply vanished after collecting crores from the market. Mr Reddy claimed that BSE had suspended more than 600 companies over the past one year, out of about 5,700 companies registered with the exchange. In May, 2002 alone, 85 companies were suspended, which had failed to submit quarterly results for the last quarters as required under clause 41 of the listing agreement. In June 2002, 25 companies were further suspended by the management. He said these companies included Mukerian Papers Ltd, Rajinder Steel, Vatsa Corporation, Panchmehal Cement, Montari Leathers, Penta four Products, Ace Laborotories, Gujarat Fun N Water Park Ltd, Hindustan Development Corporation and Pal Peugot Ltd. The other companies included Sunstar Software System Ltd, Mesco Pharmaceutical, Century Tubes, Amrut Industries, Eastern Mining & Allied Ltd, J.F. Laborotories, Manav Yarn Products Ltd, Prakash Solvent Extractors and Alka Diamond Industries. He said since these companies failed to redress the complaints of thousands of investors, he said, the exchange was forced to take such an
action. Though exchange would also have to suffer losses amounting to lakhs of rupees in term of listing fee, but these companies could not be allowed to function at the market. Mr H.S. Sidhu, GM, Ludhiana Stock Exchange, also admitted that out of about 450 companies listed with LSE, about 70 companies had been suspended for non-compliance with the conditions of the listing agreement. They had cheated about 50,000 companies in the region by collecting about Rs 100 crore from them, however, neither they had paid any dividend to them nor any information about company performance. Some of them had simply vanished after collecting money. Mr Reddy suggested that the investors should approach the Department of Company Affairs, which had the powers to prosecute the directors of the companies in case of serious complaints under the Company Act. Moreover, the properties of these companies could be attached by the department. However, there was a need, he said, for the intervention of the Parliament to empower the exchanges to take action against the defaulting companies. He added that the investors awareness programme was also aimed at create awareness about the dubious
companies. The BSE has also launched online trade confirmation system, to make the system more transparent. |
BSE eyeing merger with DSE, CSE New Delhi, August 5 We had several rounds of discussions with Delhi Stock Exchange officials about the merger. We are talking to Calcutta Stock Exchange. Madras Stock Exchange has also given a presentation to us, official sources told PTI. DSE President and Vice-President last week stepped down from their posts to facilitate the process of corporatisation of the Delhi bourse, in line with the SEBI directive. The BSE would undertake a due diligence
exercise shortly, sources said. PTI |
Indias share in world rebounds New Delhi, August 5 Indias share in the world trade has climbed up to 0.7 per cent in 2001 from 0.4 per cent in 1992. Our policies in the earlier years, till the last decade were inward looking. Self sufficiency and import substitution were emphasised but not exports. Small wonder, therefore, that by 1992 the share in world exports dwindled to a mere 0.4 per cent, Commerce Secretary Dipak Chatterjee said in his convocation address at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade here today. The Commerce
Secretary said to achieve one per cent share of the global market by 2006, the Commerce Ministry has unveiled a medium term export strategy.
Spinfed or Spindead? Chandigarh, August 4 The official presentation mentions, lack of high class professionals, as one of he reasons for losses in the spinning mills. There is, perhaps, also lack of vision, as is evident from the presentation made by the bureaucrats concerned to the Cabinet Committee on Co-operation on July 30, suggesting revival and seeking budgetary support, equity capital and term loan, besides, money to pay back wages (since November 1, 2001) to 2,500 employees. Though these demands add up to nearly Rs 200 crore, Spinfed has demanded that the government give at least Rs 45 crore for resuscitating two mills. The demand was rightly rejected . The other listed reasons for losses include, high cotton yarn ratio, obsolescence and lack of up-gradation (Spinfed was set up in 1980 and mills came up thereafter), non- creation of buffer stocks (raw material) during cotton season and general recession in the textile industry since 1995-96. For revival of the mills two suggestions are made, one that a financial package will come from the National Cooperative Development Corporation, and two, a techno-economic feasibility study by All-India Federation of Co-operative Spinning Mills, Mumbai. At present there are no liabilities on these seven spinning mills. These have been cleared through One Time Settlement. The Disinvestment Commission decision on these mills is wind up. Yet, the bureaucrats are keen on the revival (expansion and modernization) of these mills. Why?
World Bank best bet for India: Vasudev Chandigarh, August 5 In an interview today, Mr Vasudev said, It is ironical that both Punjab and Kerala are rich states with the highest per capita incomes, while the two governments are facing major financial problems. There is a large gap, a mis-match, between expenditure and resources. Does it mean that the states (people) are rich and governments are poor? he was asked. That is too blunt a statement. But his emphasis was on good governance in which the concept of politics-driven economics has to change to economics-driven politics for growth. On Punjabs financial situation, he said the reforms outlined in the budget are a bold initiative and at least shows the desire to take tough political decisions to correct the mis-match between revenue and expenditure. On Punjab projects pending with the World Bank and if free power and irrigation water is an impediment, he replied, the World Banks concern was whether the client would make proper use of borrowed money, whether it had the capacity to repay and whether it had the capacity of debt servicing. The need is to work for an interface between the policy-makers and the civil society and identify barriers to growth. These barriers can be physical, intellectual or in terms of infrastructure. He gave one example that of land market rigidity in which a host of laws prohibited full exploitation for urbanisation, which he described as the future of production and an engine of growth. Mr Vasudev said, We have to dismantle old values, remove barriers and find access to trade. One will realise the enormity of the price being paid due to these barriers. Just quantify the cost to understand their impact. Removal of these barriers will unleash the growth potential. Therefore, the society must be made aware about these. And population is not a barrier to growth, as long as its pace does not outstrip services and supplies. To a question, he said, the World Bank assisted India to the tune of nearly $ 4 annually. The money was a mix of soft and commercial loans. As compared to other avenues of international funding, the World Bank remains the best, cheap bet for the country. The need in future is of funding for growth and development of infrastructure (railways and highways) and social sector: health care, education etc. In his new assignment, Mr Vasudev will
endeavour for more and better relationship between India and the Word Bank. When asked if it is true that developed countries dictated to developing countries by influencing the World Bank funding system, he said, Psyche has to change to understand the functioning of the World Bank. All 140-odd member-countries are shareholders in the World Bank. The voting power of these countries is determined by their share holding, which is based on the economic strength. Rather than blaming external factors the need is to look to the internal shortcomings. Mr Vasudev was in Chandigarh at the invitation of Centre for Research in Rural and Industrial Development Director, Rashpal Malhotra, who apprised him of the working of the institute and introduced the faculty. |
Enrons thirst for growth brought it down London, August 5 No wonder his colleagues called him Darth Vader. The same fervour for market forces guided Skilling and his predecessor, Kenneth Lay, throughout Enrons short history. It explains the Texan energy traders early runaway successes as well as its spectacular failure. This is the central thesis of a new book from US-based consultants Peter Fusaro and Ross Miller, What Went Wrong at Enron (Wiley). Many things went wrong, of course: Enron was brought to the brink by a series of mis-steps, and just plain bad luck, as the authors put it. Outright dishonesty also played a part. But Enrons fundamental problem, Fusaro and Miller argue, was a unique, institutionalised thirst for spectacular growth, with top executives leading the charge. The company began life as Houston Natural Gas, a sleepy utility firm, but declared its overweaning ambition in 1985, when Lay, then its newly-installed boss, ordered a change of name. Enron was a conscious echo of the oil giant Exxon, and Lay was determined that his company would one day achieve the same prominence. He began by examining Americas 300,000 kilometre gas pipeline system. Its a vast and complex network in which there are many thousands of different ways to transport gas across the country. Working out how to carry it in the cheapest way possible could unlock the door to boundless riches. With Ronald Reagans government deregulating the energy industry, Enron saw its chance and took it. Like any traditional energy firm, it already supplied the pipelines with natural gas from its wells. The companys genius was to acquire a computer-aided knowledge of the network. And then use that to trade in the deregulated markets for transporting gas. Enron created an entirely new market, reaping massive rewards for its innovation, and the big financial institutions took notice. Wall Streets appetite for derivative trading in the Nineties owed much to the gas futures, swaps and more complex instruments that Enron pioneered. Lay and Skilling, his right-hand man and later successor, were cast as heroes of deregulation and apostles of the free market. These titles are only half-deserved, since Enron certainly wasnt above trying to rig markets against its competitors, as its well-documented lobbying of US lawmakers shows. But there is little doubt that both men held a ruthless sink-or-swim philosophy. Employees were made to feel it. Enron paid good wages and recruited from Americas top universities, but worked its staff hard. Applicants were put through a rigorous screening process and had to demonstrate a strong sense of urgency in everything they did. Twice a year, 15 per cent of the workforce was ritually sacked, to be replaced by new arrivals, and a further 30 per cent warned to improve. Employees were usually young, inexperienced and lacking in job options, since they lived in Houston, where Enron had few rivals. The companys cut-throat working culture destroyed morale and internal cohesion but also made workers afraid to question their superiors, let alone blow the whistle on sharp practices. This, in the end, would be Enrons undoing. Enrons aim was to foster an entrepreneurial spirit among its staff. Sometimes it succeeded. On her own initiative, Louise Kitchen developed an internet-based trading service that within a year was handling $ 3 billion of transactions a day; it was snapped up by UBS Warburg after Enron crashed. Paradoxically, Enrons hunger for continuing growth helps explain its business failures. Rivals were catching up in gas, and Enron became unfocused as it sought to apply its principle of market creation to electricity, pollution permits, water, bandwidth and any number of sunrise industries. Enron paid too much for Britains Wessex Water, and its hopes for broadband trading were dashed when it discovered there was no shortage of fibreoptic cable in the world. The company was losing money. Enron had always carried large debts. It had few hard assets, and could not afford to see its share price slip too low, because it had given many of its creditors stock in lieu of repayments. It also had to retain the appearance of creditworthiness at all times: if the likes of Standard & Poors were ever to remove its investment-grade credit rating it would be out of business.

Financial crisis in PSEB deepens Ludhiana, August 5 At the sametime, the massive cut on the industries is also causing loss to the industries as well as to the state exchequer as the industrial production has fallen by about 30 per cent. The steel prices have already touched alltime high because of the fall in the production of the same owing to heavy cut on the steel plants in the state. Meanwhile the enquiries made by The Tribune show today that the PSEB owes Rs 80 crore to the Coal India Ltd and Rs 160 crore to the Railways as arrears of the coal supply and Railway freight. The Punjab State Electricity Board is purchasing about 245 lakh units of power from the central sector plants daily to meet the power needs of the state. The daily consumption of power has been restricted to 1025 lakh units and it would have crossed 1200 lakh units if the cut had not been enforced. The PSEB has pressed upon the state electricity regulatory authority to give its verdict regarding the hike in the power tariff without any further delay to save the board from collapsing. Despite poor financial health of the state exchequer and the PSEB, the Punjab Government does not seem to be in a hurry to reimpose power tariff on tubewells. Enquiries further show that the Uttranchal State Electricity Board has started supplying fifteen lakh units of power to PSEB on payment following rains in that state. The PSEB is also getting 30 lakh units of power from J and K and HP on banking system. |

Kundli industrial zone records 16 cr exports Panchkula, August 5 Export oriented units (EOUs) set up here export items worth Rs 15. 96 crore during the past financial year. With at least 10 more units in this Export Processing Zone likely to begin production this year, the exports are likely to reach a new high. Sources in the HSIDC informed TNS that while seven of the units have already been set up in this zone, 37 units will be set up soon. Six units had already begun production last year, while another three had started exporting their products in 1999-2000. The zone has been created in 107 acres. As many as 146 plots have been allotted for setting up different industries. The sources said the Central Excise and Customs, the Cargo Centre, the state Industry Department and the Haryana Financial Corporation have already set up their offices to aid the EOUs. Also roads, drainage and culverts, street lighting, provision of water and power supply has been completed in this zone. Launched during the last decade, these zones were created for attracting foreign investment, earning foreign exchange and for employment generation. |
Hyundai sales jump New Delhi, August 5 Hyundai India attributed the growth to good sales performance by its flagship car Santro. Sales of the premium small car jumped 52 per cent to 7,666 units during the review month from 5,041 units in July, 2001, and 2.9 per cent from 7,449 units in June, 2002. Exports were also up year-on-year to 352 cars from 30 cars in July last year. HMIL Executive Director (Marketing and Sales) B G Lee said the 1100cc Santro Zip Plus has received an overwhelming response and sales have increased steadily since its launch in March this year.

An email from Layna Fischer, who is editor of the annual WfMC's "BPM and Workflow Handbook", tells us that the theme for the 2010 handbook is a "Spotlight on Process-Driven Business Intelligence (BI)". To wit:
In 2010 we include a special spotlight on "Process-Driven BI" to illustrate how Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) are increasingly intertwined. Linking business intelligence and business process management creates stronger operational business intelligence.
Users seek more intelligent business process capabilities in order to remain competitive within their fields and industries. BPM vendors realize they need to improve their business processes, rules and event management offerings with greater intelligence or analytics capabilities.
We welcome submissions that include issues, case studies, guidance, solutions or research such as:
* BPM integration with collaboration, portals and BI* BPM-BI with application assembly and deployment* Dynamic event-based BI driven by BPM* Embedding BI applications into business processesRead full here

Election 2015: The politics of legitimacy
- 20 April 2015
- From the section Election 2015
Politics is sailing into turbulent constitutional waters. That at least is what the opinion polls tell us.
These waters are not entirely uncharted; politicians have had to navigate the shoals of hung parliaments before. But historical precedent and ancient charts can provide only a rough guide through changing winds and tides. Politics, like the sea, is never the same.
There is before us a bewildering array of possible outcomes if no one party gets a majority. And many of those outcomes could involve some new politics for us all to get used to.
One of the big dynamics of the next parliament, I believe, will be a tension between what is legal, what is constitutional, what is precedented - and what the voters think is right and proper and legitimate.
So here is a list of hypothetical scenarios that could place new demands on the electors and the elected. Some are important; others trivial. The list is by no means exhaustive. But there are some searching questions here to which we have yet to have meaningful answers.
Election 2015: Why Tony Blair still matters
- 7 April 2015
- From the section Election 2015
"Former Labour prime minister backs Labour" is one of those news stories that falls into the "dog bites man" variety. Important, perhaps, to the poor chap with a sore leg but hardly news for the rest of us. So why will we spend so much of today discussing Tony Blair's intervention in the election campaign?
1) Tony Blair won general elections. Three, to be precise. He knew how to do something the current generation of political leaders seems unable to do and that is secure majorities in the House of Commons. Any advice he gives Labour will be scrutinised for vicarious wisdom from which the party could benefit with the opinion polls still showing little movement in any direction.

Cameron v Miliband: The debates begin
- 27 March 2015
- From the section UK Politics
It was not a head-to-head debate. But it was a back-to-back job interview and a good one at that.
It gave voters the chance to see the two men who could be our prime minister tested, above all, by Jeremy Paxman's robust questioning. (Full disclosure: I once spent a summer doing some paid research work for Jeremy when I was a student).
Has David Cameron opened Pandora's Box?
- 23 March 2015
- From the section UK Politics
So, what did he mean by that?
David Cameron's admission that he will not serve a third term in Downing Street will provoke a flurry of speculation. What was he hoping to achieve? What message was he trying to send?
Leader profile: Nick Clegg opens up about life outside politics

Budget 2015: Police warning over leak risk

UKIP tries to broaden its appeal

with that much sloping top tube there's no need for a "women's" version as long as the stem is an appropriate length
But it's not pink! :lol3 |
my brakes are:jack
http://skibum69.smugmug.com/Other/pe...56_3sov9-M.jpg |
Two solid months of no riding. :bluduh
As of now, the forecast looks good to be riding by the end of the week. :clap |
Tombstone... Doc Holiday. I live in East Texas, there's good enough hills out here... and Arkansas in only a tiny car trip away. ;) |
Also, women's specific bikes always come in stupid colors (like pink) that I refuse to ride on. Plus, my team kit is black and white, so this bike looks perfect with it. :lol3 |
I know on the Specialized mtn bikes at least, the womens frames have a shorter seat-to-bar distance as the same height mens frames... Giants are already somewhat shorter than Specialized (I think Specialized are built for dudes with long torsoes).
back in the saddle again.
Well, after being out for a few weeks due to travel and a personal issue, it's time to get enthusiastic about *something* again. I have kayaks and one bicycle but I don't feel like doing anything. I put on about 10 lbs in the last three weeks but I should be able to drop that fairly fast.
I had ordered a rear rack for the Fargo and a top case for the rack. I picked those up yesterday and installed the rack. My wife has a paper due for one of her classes on Wednesday so I'll likely not get out until Wednesday - I'll help her a bit with her paper tonight and tomorrow night. I've scheduled a little kayaking on Saturday with Bill the Duck and my daughter. That'll help a bit also. Other than that, I'm back...not motivated but it'll come. |
Yeah. I don't get the color schemes, either. Just because one is a woman, doesn't mean it has to have shades of pastel. Manufacturers claim "designed by women for women", but, I'm not buying it. |
personally I'm fine with pink, as my brakes will attest, but I agree that many "women's" bikes are not built to the same standards of performance that men's models are, and I don't buy that philosophy.
http://skibum69.smugmug.com/Other/pe...29_DcyST-M.jpg |

Touring the Screen
Tourism and New Zealand Film Geographies
Distributed for Intellect Ltd
Following the success of prominent feature films shot on location, including Tolkien's wildly popular The Lord of the Rings, New Zealand boasts an impressive film tourism industry. This book examines the relationship between New Zealand's cinematic representation—as both a vast expanse of natural beauty and a magical world of fantasy on screen—and its tourism imagery, including the ways in which savvy local tourism boards have in recent decades used the country's film representations to sell New Zealand as a premiere travel destination. Focusing on the films that have had a strong impact on marketing strategies by local tourist boards, Touring the Screen will be of interest to all those working and studying in the fields of cinema, postcolonial history, and tourism studies.

Bowery, Leigh (1961-1994)
Club host, fashion designer, face about town, and artists' muse, Leigh Bowery transformed his body into a centerpiece of his performance art. Bowery was born on March 26, 1961 in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine. In October 1980, he moved to London, drawn to the city by the articles he read about London's punk scene and club nightlife. He quickly established a name for himself on the London club scene and was soon himself frequently featured in the "style" press that he had read in Sunshine. In 1983, after returning from New York where he was involved in a series of fashion shows that promoted British fashion design, he began to concentrate on making himself into the product of his own designs, using the nightclub as his stage. In 1985 Bowery was invited by club entrepreneur Tony Gordon to host a new club night, Taboo. The club became notorious for its outrageousness, and Bowery infamous as the most outrageous fixture on the London nightclub scene. Bowery had always been out about his sexuality. He was a constant face on London's gay club scene, using his increasingly bizarre and distorted looks to challenge the conformity of dress and body image that was becoming increasingly prevalent among gay men. Attracted to Bowery's non-conformist appearance, the enfant terrible of the dance world, gay British dancer and choreographer Michael Clark invited Bowery to design costumes for one of his ballets in 1984. This collaboration was the beginning of a long and productive relationship in which Bowery became not only costume designer but also performer in many of Clark's pieces. By 1988 Bowery had come to think of his performances as a form of art as much as a form of entertainment. The result was a show at the d'Offay gallery in London and a subsequent series of performances in which Bowery "disfigured" and revealed his body. Leigh Bowery constantly reinvented himself by distorting his body shape and changing the proportions of his body. While many people use their clothes to hide physical defects or blemishes, Bowery embellished his, transforming them into the centerpiece of his art. Bowery used his "looks" to become something other than himself. Bowery's performances became increasingly extreme as they played with notions of sexuality and aspects of sadism and masochism. In 1993 he played the role of "Madame Garbo" in Copi (Raul Damonte)'s 1971 play The Homosexual (or the Difficulty of Sexpressing Oneself). In 1988, the artist Lucien Freud saw and was impressed by Bowery's performances at the d'Offay Gallery. In 1990, Bowery began to model for Freud. Freud painted Bowery, whom he believed to be "perfectly beautiful," completely naked. The paintings celebrated Bowery's massive physical frame. Posing nude for Freud provided Bowery an opportunity to examine what he had made of himself in his distortions and alterations of his body, as well as to assess how his body actually looked without artificial distortions. In 1988, Bowery discovered that he was HIV-positive, a fact he kept secret for a number of years from everyone except one friend. Although Bowery had never hidden his homosexuality and had frequently regaled his friends with tales of his sexual encounters, in May 1994, just six months before his death, he married his long time friend, lover, and collaborator Nicola Bateman. Bowery died of AIDS-related meningitis in November 1994. Bowery's life is the subject of a recent musical, Taboo, with a score by Boy George (George O'Dowd). |

August 18, 2011 - Foster City, Calif. - Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a wholly owned US subsidiary of Perfect World Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PWRD), today launched the Future's End content update for its free-to-play fantasy adventure MMORPG, Ether Saga Odyssey. Faced with extinction, the mortals of Middle Kingdom join forces to save their race and battle even tougher monsters including the legendary Risen Phoenix.
The Future's End content update will present some of the most challenging content seen in Ether Saga Odyssey thus far. In Twisted Moon and Sacred Hunt, two new instances, players will fight epic bosses as well as a horde of monsters in twenty rounds of arena combat that get progressively harder and yield richer rewards. Within the new zone, players level 106 and above will get to stalk elusive prey and battle vile beasts as they explore the lush expansive area.
"Ether Saga Odyssey is based in a fun filled realm where players can turn into monsters and utilize combat pets, but this content update will add another dimension to the game by featuring high level content for its most hardcore players," said Aaron Potter, Product Manager for Ether Saga Odyssey.
Additional features in the Future's End content update include:
• Advanced Weapon System - Players can now further equip their character with the new powerful Dragon Lord and Genesis gear sets
